Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
On a flop of 
Oliver Weis checked over to Michael Stashin who put out a bet of 18,000. Weis called so the two headed to a turn.
The turn was the 
and this time both players slowed down and checked. On the 
river, Weis led out for 26,000. Stashin dropped back in his chair and took off his glasses upon seeing the bet.
"Did you spike the ace?" he asked. Weis did not respond. Stashin thought for a few more seconds, then called.
Weis showed 
but it was no good as Stashin was holding 
.
"Were you betting for value or as a bluff?" Stashin asked after the hand.
"Value of course," Weis said. Stashin collected the pot and recovered some of his chips while Weis continued to fall down the counts.
